I'm so sorry to hear about Gom's trouble. I went nearly blind in 2007 from a condition called neovascular cornealization, but there were able to fix me. I'll have trouble past age 50 again, however at 25 I'm able to see; I consider it a blessing. :) Anyway, give him my best. <BR/><BR/>By the way, your pictures, while completely off the wall in context to your post (hehe!), are beautiful! :) <BR/><BR/>Have a great day! <BR/><BR/>SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429074991314349493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-85814617500500933272009-01-27T14:16:00.000+11:002009-01-27T14:16:00.000+11:00I remember your mentioning your friend being assau...I remember your mentioning your friend being assaulted some time ago.

Good sign that he's still a pool shark, though. <BR/><BR/>Better to talk to a carrot than someone's breasts. I've seen men do that one plenty.
